Teaser – Free time quick pleasures app on Android. #Teaser

Ok so we all love our apps and browsing on our mobiles but at times we may get bored or whatever the case maybe and can find ourselves in a rut to find something interesting,Example of one another idea like this was recently launched called pooductive and this enables you to talk to others whilst you sit on the big white telephone..

This app is kind of similar but aggregated from several other feeds and you can select what interests you most,in the settings this can be adjusted to what suits you and you can pick from several such as Vine,Meme generator and You Tube etc..

The description says it all really which is as follows.

Teaser provides the ultimate collection of short recreation items for your downtime:
Trending memes, fresh and hilarious gags and jokes, trivia, viral videos, awesome facts, familiar quotes and tons more. You choose the channels you like, we’ll do the rest while you relax and enjoy a refreshing hiatus from the world around you.

The app is smooth however I found it short on content on using it today so in time I would expect it to grow and it will be more enjoyable,you can share and favourite your picks in the app but for now it is exactly as its named,its a teaser,lets hope it gets better.. Teaser was created by a guy called IdanBenporat who called out to us on Twitter today.

Gmail gets new features,Block and Unsubscribe. #Gmail #Android #Web

Gmail has got some new ( convenient) features Block Sender is one which is ideal and will throw your unwanted mail into the spam folder ,but is this really a block,we do check our spam folders,this is rolling out today on the web and Android over the next week. You can then unblock if you like in settings. Anyway its welcome in my book.Filtering mail was already available  but takes less clicks now.

In addition, the unsubscribe option is now making its way to Android, so you’ll be able to opt out of eligible mailing lists directly from the Gmail app. It’s perfect for those newsletters you subscribed to a while back but don’t read any more. Again this is something we can already do via the unsubscribe option attached to emails so this just makes it a bit more convenient I guess.

You won’t believe it, but there’s a #SelfieSpoon By @VicenteA_George #Selfie #Cereal #Photo

OK, let’s start by saying this: Things are going out of control!

If you’re a assiduous reader you’ll know by now that neither Jim or I are fans of Selfie sticks and similar, even though that we’ve published some articles regarding this area.

Now the Selfie market has a new addition, meet “The Selfie Spoon”

Apparently someone wants to take the Food Photography to a whole new level, now you can do more than take a photo to your delicious breakfast, you can capture your face while eating.

Is practically a normal Selfie Stick, extends over 80 cm with a holder at the end for your phone, but in this case the other side has an extra….. A spoon.

The company behind this invention is no other than Cinnamon Toast Crunch a cereal company that apparently, hasn’t anything else to do.

You can order one for FREE just paying shipping and handling

See it in action:

If you want one for yourself go HERE

And if you do, please let us know in the comments what you think.

#LG announces the all metal made LG Class By @VicenteA_George #Android #LGClass

We’ve heard a lot about this “all metal” LG phone is the past days, but today LG Korea has made it official.

Introducing the LG Class

With all the bells and whistles we’ve heard about a new “Top of the Line” phone from LG the expectation grows for today possible announce of the rumored G4 Note, but what we have if a mid-range phone with a “premium” look.

The Class combine what we love the most about LG design language and that premium feel that All Metal phones have.

Take a look a the specs:

Screen: 5″ inch (1280 x 720)

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 410

RAM: 2 GB

Memory: 16 GB with 2TB external SD card support

Front Camera: 8MP

Rear Camera: 13MP

Battery: 2.050 mAh (Non removable)

Size: 141 x 71,8 x 7,4 mm

OS: Android 5.1 Lollipop with LG UX 4 on top

Connections: 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi,1W Speaker, FM Radio

There you have it, if you want a “Premium Looking” phone but are in a budget the Class is your better call.

The downside of the story is the fact of the Class being sold in Korea exclusively at the moment, with no info about whether or not is going to be available overseas.

Although you can find the phone at the local market, you can buy the phone unlock and use it (needs to check carrier bands though) for just €301 or $339

Even though the nice look and feel of the phone, the internal are not so premium at that price tag could be a little excessive.

What do you think? Is it “good looking” enough to bring it home from abroad?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Beware! #VisitorTracker Malware attacking 1000’s WordPress Sites By @VicenteA_George #Virus #Web

Approximately 2 weeks ago a hackers attack began over thousands of websites using WordPress system infecting unsuspecting visitors with potent malware exploits.

The attack has claimed almost 15.000 sites using the CMS WordPress, the Sucuri Security team has been working hard since the beginning to ensure sites and protect the site’s visitors.

But the infected sites grew from 1,000 per day to almost 6,000 daily this due to attackers using a “Nuclear exploit kit” inserted in some vulnerable plugins redirecting visitors to hosting servers who carries the malware. The Nuclear exploit kit, is sold on the black market and uses a variety of different exploits depending on the operating system and available apps used by the visitor.
Sucuri has confirmed that almost 95% of the attacked websites are running WordPress, even though they still don’t know how the sites are being attacked is mostly due to plugins vulnerability.
Sucuri has named the campaign “Visitor Trackers” due to its JavaScript file name visitorTracker_isMob.
Still unsure how the hackers infest the websites Sucuri made public a security tool to identify if your site is indeed infected, and therefore, protect your audience.

Stick with Android – Useless and fun sticks it to Apple #Apps #Android

Recently Apple launched an Android app its first to be exact and was an app to help people switch to Android,there has been similar instances in the past but just hash tags on twitter and the likes,now its down to apps which is fine and im pretty sure someone will respond ,that being said one would wonder if Apple will allow it..

The app is simple and all you do is click the screen which says “click here to stay with Android” and then it says “Congratulations you did it,oh yeah do it again”.But thats it,the experience might be fun for some and useless for others but its fun to see a response to the Apple App which has got slated in the comments section in the Play Store.

The description of the app though is funny which says….

Everything about Android is designed to be easy. That includes sticking with it. With just one step, you can keep your content automatically and securely on your Android device with the Stick with Android app. No need to save your stuff elsewhere before sticking with Android. The Stick with Android app securely keeps you away from switching to another (worse) platform.

You can just follow the download link HERE and read the comment or download the app but you will be bored after a short time,but the comments section is where its at.. The comments too on the Apple App are also quite entertaining,let the battle commence.
